Neighborhood: West Town

Chicago, IL 60611

Inside: Bar DeVille

The French-inspired name may translate to "bar of the city," but this corner tavern in the former La Manzanilla space is all about keeping things local and laid-back. Brought to you by Matt Eisler (Empire Liquors, Angels & Kings) and designer Kevin Heisner (who both live nearby) this is the kind of cool little watering hole you can wander into for a fun, no-frills night out. The duo was inspired by trips to Barcelona and Paris, so you'll find rag-tag furniture reminiscent of European flea markets and, on busy nights, waitresses wandering the bar selling cans of beer right off the six-pack. Order local Goose Island or Half Acre brews on tap, or ask the bartender to whip up a classic cocktail with-a-twist, like a stirred-not-shaken gin and vermouth martini or a margarita sweeted with blue agave syrup.

"Impressive"

By Drover from Wicker Park, March 16, 2009

Although I'd assume it gets REALLY crowded towards the 2am turn... It was VERY comfortable between the hours of 10-12 this past Friday night. Co...
